I'd say take the machine that gives you the error about an ip conflict offline. Hopefully you can determine what ip it was trying to take over before taking it offline. Then check your DNS records and DHCP leases to see if some other system has the ip in question. Do a scan with a tool called netscan (free executable), and see if you can detect something at the ip causing the issue.

You may just be able to run ipconfig /release, delete the DHCP lease for the machine in question, and then ipconfig /renew from the command line to resolve this.
